I think you guys are forgetting the fact that the PS2 didn't exactly have anything that said "you need this" at launch, or that it was also extremely unorthodox to program for, there were even some games ported from the Dreamcast that ended up taking a step backwards, some of which weren't even all that technically demanding like Crazy Taxi.

It was pretty much Sony's "look at what you're getting for X amount of money" attitude that left everyone with a negative stigma towards the PS3 that never fully went away throughout the generation, possibly for the rest of the industry's eternity for that matter.

PS2 was pretty much worse than Dreamcast in everyway. But that DVD player though. I had 4 of them XD

Well I wasn't really comparing the two, I'm just showing that the PS2 did in fact suffer from a lot of the things the PS3 is often exclusively slandered for. The only lopsided difference being the retail price lol.

 

And I think it's a little silly to attribute the Dreamcast falling short financially towards the PS2 anyway, the N64 and PS1 were still very relevant platforms circa-2000 and the Dreamcast itself made about as much impact in Japan as the 360 did. Maybe that Windows logo had something to with it. #Kappa
